Around 20 Naval Vessels were destroyed, 2,000 men died, 1,000 men were injured and 200 airplanes were turned to dust..

Why did this Subject grab my Attention?

The reason I was so drawn to learning more about the Attack on Pearl Harbor is because my great grandfather lost his leg in a bomb and had to have years of therapy to relearn how to walk. He still struggled until the day he died, and I wanted closure to know he did not die for no reason. Now I can say for a fact he went down a hero.

What did I learn?

I learned that the attack was the main event that caused the U.S to get involved with so many wars and eventually be and official part of Work War 2.
